Peter Deunov (1864-1944) is often credited as bringing the spiritual teachings of the Sun to the West. During his spiritual initiations, Peter Deunov spent three weeks in meditation that ended with a three day experience of “being one with the Sun.” This article describes the 7 person lineage known as “The Sons of the Sun” – spiritual master teachers who embody the message and light of the Sun.

Peter Deunov: The Tradition of Son of the Sun

Historically, there was the land of the “Son of the Sun” or “Son of Heaven.” From China to the Andes, through ancient Egypt, these are the children of light who built all the greatest civilizations.

Basically, all men are children of light. A Son of the Sun is a man who has passed certain tests through initiations to refresh the inner potential and to transmit it, to awaken in others. By his own conscience, he radiates an aura around him, a field of life energy that has the capacity to awaken the conscience and the subtle centers in man. Those who are affected and respond to the call structure a school around him so that the invisible can become visible and live among us. Resonate with such a school that is in that line of light and accept his presence in itself is to awaken the divine essence, the best in itself that sleeps within all matter, of any substance, of all creation. It is the duty of man to show the divine essence and to open the path of development.

Manitara Olivier tells us that these seven Son of the Sun, four are from: Rudolf Steiner, Peter Deunov, Babaji, Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov. He is the fifth and two more are after him incarnate. These two will be the reincarnation of Lord Aivanhov which will prepare the final coming of the Master Peter Deunov make manifest the Spirit of Truth. In this collective work, Rudolf Steiner had not reached the initiation of the Sons of the Sun, but its relationship with the Archangel Mikhael allowed him to do a wonderful job and making a beautiful light to enhance this tradition, this soul family. To accomplish this initiation, the Master Peter Deunov was isolated for three weeks in a cave in the mountains of Moussala. During these three weeks of retirement, he was very active, particularly consisting of esoteric music to awaken the man in the light in the etheric and establishing numerous grounds of his school. By building on this solid foundation that will raise the Master Aivanhov subsequently his own school.
